This article highlights an approach based on authentic data, by focusing on recent research related to collection, processing and analysis of a large French text-message corpus, entitled 88milSMS (http://88milsms.huma-num.fr/, Panckhurst, Détrie, Lopez, Moïse, Roche, Verine, 2014), including a sociolinguistic questionnaire submitted to donors (with their answers). The authors, using a pluridisciplinary approach (linguistics/language sciences, computer science, Natural Language Processing), explain why they chose to give the scientific community and the general public access to the SMS corpus.
